Description
92, 94, 96, 98, 100 Buchanan Street in Glasgow is a commercial building designed by Charles Wilson between 1850 and 1851, showcasing the Italian Renaissance palazzo style. It is three storeys tall with a basement and features seven bays facing Buchanan Street, along with six similarly detailed bays on the return sides. The building is constructed from yellow ashlar sandstone, with a modern stone-faced ground floor that includes a billetted cornice.
The first and second floors have architraved windows adorned with ornately consoled cornices. Above the first-floor windows, there are a variety of swagged masques on the friezes, while the second-floor windows feature swagged wreaths. The jambs are cavetto, detailed with paterae at the mid-point. Continuous band courses align with the window cornices of the first and second floors, and there is a cill course at the second floor.
The main frieze includes guilloched paterae, with dentil moulding above and a modillioned cornice. The ashlar parapet has moulded coping and dies at regular intervals. Additionally, there are three recessed, modern ashlar bays that are two storeys high with a basement, located to the east in South Exchange Place and Royal Bank Place, connecting to Archibald Elliot's earlier neo-Greek building from 1827, which is listed separately.
